Reverend Bakare urges youths to take Mugabe's govt head on

Mutare based retired cleric Sebastian Bakare has urged unemployed and impoverished youth can only improve their fortunes by taking head-on the Zanu-PF government through demonstrations and other democratic means.

Bakare said on Wednesday that even if it meant to be beaten by the "repressive" government, youth should stand their ground.

Referring to President Robert Mugabe's rally today at Sakubva Stadium in Mutare, he said some people were still "foolish enough" to be frog-marched to attend Zanu-PF rallies where they were brainwashed with empty promises.
